New TC33DA

[Compact1]

I recently traded my TC24DA for a TC33DA with Super Steer. I can hardly believe the difference in the machines! The power is quite impressive and I really like having three gear ranges instead on two. Everything about the tractors is different...the dash, the pedals, the steering, the seat, the 3-point adjustments, etc.

The 24 had turf tires and the 33 has industrial. I'm still getting used to the heavier footprint of the industrial tires but I think I'm going to like them. If you have never operated a tractor with SS then I recommend you do - it makes mowing a lot more pleasant. Just go slow when turning and you can make tight turns with minimal or no damage.

I also like the 72" rear discharge MMM. It does a very nice job in a hurry. The tractor came with a 68" pin-on bucket but my dealer agreed to exchange for a 60" quick connect bucket which should be delivered any day.

I bought the tractor for 0% at 60-months! How can you beat that?

Traded in a 1715 for a TC 33DA about a year ago, and like you, the power amazes me, even for a hydro machine. I now regret not getting the SS, and quick connect bucket, and if I happen to win the lottery, I'll probably look into converting to the qc bucket (lol). Regardless, I really enjoy my blue toy!!

I am going to do this also trade up soon The 34 replaced the 33 1 HP.
Question where is the lock for the brakes ? Like parking brake lock.

SOS,

I have a 60" Landpride box blade, 48" Landpride rotary cutter (leftover from original tractor), 72" Landpride rear blade, 72" rear discharge MMM, and the loader. Hopefully I will be able to afford some additional "goodies" in the near future.

Schmism,

The big black knob is the light switch - you turn it clockwise to activate the dash light, low beams, and high beams.

The toggle switch with forward-backward arrows is the turn signal.

6sunset6,

I attached a photo that shows the parking brake. It is the small orange lever under the seat. You pull-up on the lever after the brakes are applied then a parking brake light is displayed on the dash.

Have you checked to see if your dealer can locate a 33? I went with a 2006 TC33DA rather than a 2007 TC34DA because of the financing available on last year's model. Just a thought...I'm not sure if 0% for 60 mos. is still available on the 33's.

Thats what I was hoping. The parking brake release is a whole lot easier to reach than on my 1320. My arms are not long enough. Hmm Did not ask about a 33DA and if 0/60 was still available. Thanks for the picture.
